I was reading some of the posts wondering if a Holland is worth the money. It's been so blasted hot this summer and the Holland is so versatile that it's working overtime this year. The other night we wanted BLTs, so as I was cooking the bacon on the Holland, it reminded me of the old days of using a flame throwing grill and trying to imagine using that to do bacon. I would have had to be wearing a welding helmet, asbestos underwear and an ice cream pail full of water to douse the flames. Just another reason for thanking Holland for a great grill!
